“Burning Knowledge”: Studies of Bookburning in Ancient Rome “BURNING KNOWLEDGE”: STUDIES OF BOOKBURNING IN ANCIENT ROME DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Daniel Christopher Sarefield, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Timothy E. Gregory, Adviser Professor Sarah Iles Johnston _______________________ Professor Fritz Graf Adviser History Graduate Program Copyright by Daniel Sarefield 2004 ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates the ancient Roman practice of bookburning. The public destruction of religious writings by fire was a development of the Hellenistic period. It was in this period that strictly religious associations began to develop and writing was first becoming important for religious practices of many kinds, and for the dissemination of religious ideas. The earliest incidents of bookburning suggest that this action was taken from time to time against religious activities and practitioners that were outside of the supervision and control of Roman officials, who saw these novel and foreign practices as a threat to the proper religious observances that were believed to ensure the harmony with the gods upon which the security and stability of Roman society depended. To burn a forbidden book was, therefore, an act of piety on the part of the destroyer, who in this early period was invariably a representative of the state. It was commonly performed as a religious ritual and care was taken to make certain that it was seen by the greatest number of witnesses. During the period of the Roman Empire, further developments to the practice of bookburning occurred as this ritual came to be used by religious officials in intercommunal conflicts within the Graeco-Roman religious milieu. They were not strictly representatives of the state. Bookburning became a method by which religious ii communities and authorities could express their power and opinions regarding their rivals and their beliefs. However, Roman emperors continued to authorize and even oversee bookburning for the same reasons as their predecessors during the Roman Republic. With the rise of Christianity to the status of Roman state religion during the fourth century C.E., bookburning came to be an activity performed by a wide range of individuals, from imperial officials, to bishops and other Christian religious authorities, and even pious laypersons. The purpose of bookburning remained the protection of harmony with the divine, but the locations and performers of these destructions came to associate this activity more and more with the interests of the Christian Church. iii To my mother and father iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to thank my adviser, Timothy Gregory, who has been a tremendous source of encouragement and intellectual support throughout my time at Ohio State. I also wish to thank the other members of my dissertation committee, Sarah Johnston and Fritz Graf. Both offered invaluable insights and criticisms as I worked through drafts of the manuscript and this final version would be much poorer but for their guidance. Anthony Kaldellis read drafts of all of the chapters and helped to improve them enormously, for which I am very grateful. My graduate student colleagues David Pettegrew, Jack Wells, and William Caraher also read and commented on earlier versions of many of the chapters and provided precious references while I was still conducting my research. Thanks also to my M.A. thesis adviser, Jack Balcer, who believed I had potential and encouraged me to pursue my own interests. Of course, I could not have survived the rigors of graduate student life and a dissertation without the support and encouragement of my friends and family. I owe a very special thanks to my wife, Tracey, who was always ready to give encouragement and showed tremendous patience. Thanks also to my brother, John Sarefield, who sent me books and took me bookshopping when I visited him in Manhattan on breaks—gifts greater than gold to a poor graduate student! I also wish to thank my friends, including v Lisa Betts, Michael Croft, Christine Dobbler, Dean DeMatteis, Angie Hobbes, Delia Houston, Eric Houston, Tim Maurer, Sanito Mendoza, Brad Roark, and especially Mark Ghent. To my parents, last but certainly not least, my eternal gratitude. vi VITA January 13, 1969………………………...Born – Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey 1995–1996……………………………… Isthmia Fellow, Department of History, The Ohio State University 1996……………………………………...M.A. History, The Ohio State University 1996–1999……………………………….Graduate Teaching Associate, The Ohio State University 1999–2002……………………………….Small Section Lecturer, The Ohio State University 2002–2004……………………………….Managing Editor, Exploring the European Past: Texts and Images, Department of History, The Ohio State University FIELDS OF STUDY Major Field: History vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Abstract…………………….…………………………………………………………..ii Dedication……………………………………………………………………………...iv Acknowledgments…………………………………………………………………..….v Vita……………………………………………………………………………………vii Abbreviations……………………………………………………………………..……x Chapters 1.

    The Politics of Roman Memory in the Age of Justinian DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Marion Woodrow Kruse, III Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Anthony Kaldellis, Advisor; Benjamin Acosta-Hughes; Nathan Rosenstein Copyright by Marion Woodrow Kruse, III 2015 ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the use of Roman historical memory from the late fifth century through the middle of the sixth century AD. The collapse of Roman government in the western Roman empire in the late fifth century inspired a crisis of identity and political messaging in the eastern Roman empire of the same period. I argue that the Romans of the eastern empire, in particular those who lived in Constantinople and worked in or around the imperial administration, responded to the challenge posed by the loss of Rome by rewriting the history of the Roman empire. The new historical narratives that arose during this period were initially concerned with Roman identity and fixated on urban space (in particular the cities of Rome and Constantinople) and Roman mythistory. By the sixth century, however, the debate over Roman history had begun to infuse all levels of Roman political discourse and became a major component of the emperor Justinian’s imperial messaging and propaganda, especially in his Novels. The imperial history proposed by the Novels was aggressivley challenged by other writers of the period, creating a clear historical and political conflict over the role and import of Roman history as a model or justification for Roman politics in the sixth century.

  • RICE, CARL ROSS. Diocletian's “Great
    ABSTRACT RICE, CARL ROSS. Diocletian’s “Great Persecutions”: Minority Religions and the Roman Tetrarchy. (Under the direction of Prof. S. Thomas Parker) In the year 303, the Roman Emperor Diocletian and the other members of the Tetrarchy launched a series of persecutions against Christians that is remembered as the most severe, widespread, and systematic persecution in the Church’s history. Around that time, the Tetrarchy also issued a rescript to the Pronconsul of Africa ordering similar persecutory actions against a religious group known as the Manichaeans. At first glance, the Tetrarchy’s actions appear to be the result of tensions between traditional classical paganism and religious groups that were not part of that system. However, when the status of Jewish populations in the Empire is examined, it becomes apparent that the Tetrarchy only persecuted Christians and Manichaeans. This thesis explores the relationship between the Tetrarchy and each of these three minority groups as it attempts to understand the Tetrarchy’s policies towards minority religions. In doing so, this thesis will discuss the relationship between the Roman state and minority religious groups in the era just before the Empire’s formal conversion to Christianity. It is only around certain moments in the various religions’ relationships with the state that the Tetrarchs order violence. Consequently, I argue that violence towards minority religions was a means by which the Roman state policed boundaries around its conceptions of Roman identity. © Copyright 2016 Carl Ross Rice All Rights Reserved Diocletian’s “Great Persecutions”: Minority Religions and the Roman Tetrarchy by Carl Ross Rice A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of North Carolina State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts History Raleigh, North Carolina 2016 APPROVED BY: ______________________________ _______________________________ S.

  • Hadrian and the Greek East
    HADRIAN AND THE GREEK EAST: IMPERIAL POLICY AND COMMUNICATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Demetrios Kritsotakis, B.A, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Fritz Graf, Adviser Professor Tom Hawkins ____________________________ Professor Anthony Kaldellis Adviser Greek and Latin Graduate Program Copyright by Demetrios Kritsotakis 2008 ABSTRACT The Roman Emperor Hadrian pursued a policy of unification of the vast Empire. After his accession, he abandoned the expansionist policy of his predecessor Trajan and focused on securing the frontiers of the empire and on maintaining its stability. Of the utmost importance was the further integration and participation in his program of the peoples of the Greek East, especially of the Greek mainland and Asia Minor. Hadrian now invited them to become active members of the empire. By his lengthy travels and benefactions to the people of the region and by the creation of the Panhellenion, Hadrian attempted to create a second center of the Empire. Rome, in the West, was the first center; now a second one, in the East, would draw together the Greek people on both sides of the Aegean Sea. Thus he could accelerate the unification of the empire by focusing on its two most important elements, Romans and Greeks. Hadrian channeled his intentions in a number of ways, including the use of specific iconographical types on the coinage of his reign and religious language and themes in his interactions with the Greeks. In both cases it becomes evident that the Greeks not only understood his messages, but they also reacted in a positive way.

  • Işgal Döneminde Izmir Metropoliti Hrisostomos (1919–1922)
    Trakya Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi 31 Haziran 2009 Cilt 11 Sayı 1 (31-50) İŞGAL DÖNEMİNDE İZMİR METROPOLİTİ HRİSOSTOMOS (1919–1922) Yrd. Doç. Dr. Bülent ATALAY* ÖZET Yunanistan, Mondros Mütarekesi’ne rağmen İzmir’i işgal etti. İşgalin gerçekleşmesinde İzmir Metropoliti Hrisostomos’un faaliyetleri çok etkili oldu. Hrisostomos, Türklerin, Hıristiyanları katlettiklerine dair iddialar ileri sürdü. Bunu ispat etmek için de "Türklerin Hıristiyanlara Tecavüzleri" adında bir kitap hazırlayarak işgalci devletlerin temsilciliklerine dağıttı. Metropolit Hirsostomos faaliyetlerini İzmir metropolithanesi merkezli yürütmekteydi. İşgalinin ilk gününde Yunan askerlerini karşılayan Hrisostomos, aynı zamanda onları kutsayarak, Türkleri öldürmenin görev olduğunu belirti. Ermenilerin de desteğini alan Metropolit Hrisostomos, İzmir’deki Türklere işgal süresince zor anlar yaşattı. Asıl amaç İzmir’in Yunanistan’a bağlanmasını sağlamaktı. İzmir Valisi İzzet’in de yardımı ile Hrisostomos Türkleri baskı altında tutmaya çalıştı. Fakat Yunan kuvvetlerinin, Türk ordusu karşısında almaya başladığı mağlubiyet, Hrisostomos’un ümitlerini kırmaya başladı. Türk kuvvetleri 9 Eylül 1922’de İzmir’e girdiler. Nihayet 10 Eylül 1922 tarihiyle birlikte Hrisostomos için yolun sonu da gelmişti. İzmir’de yaşayan Türkler tarafından linç edildi. Anahtar Kelime: Metropolit, Hrisostomos, İzmir, Millî Mücadele IZMIR ARCHBISHOP HRISOSTOMOS DURING THE INVASION (1919-1922) ABSTRACT Greece occupied lamis despite the Mondros Agreement. The activities of Izmir Archbishop Hrisostomos became effective on the invasion. Hrisostomos clamied that Turks murdered Christians. In order to prove this claim, he wrote o book named “Turks’ Attacks against Christions” and distributed it to the representations of the allied powers. Hrisostomos who welcomed the Grek troops and blessed them commanded the troops to kill Turks. Hrisostomos who was supported by the Armanions caused to hard times for Turks during the invasion.

  • Reconstructive
    RECONSTRUCTIVE Angiosomes of the Foot and Ankle and Clinical Implications for Limb Salvage: Reconstruction, Incisions, and Revascularization Christopher E. Attinger, Background: Ian Taylor introduced the angiosome concept, separating the M.D. body into distinct three-dimensional blocks of tissue fed by source arteries. Karen Kim Evans, M.D. Understanding the angiosomes of the foot and ankle and the interaction among Erwin Bulan, M.D. their source arteries is clinically useful in surgery of the foot and ankle, especially Peter Blume, D.P.M. in the presence of peripheral vascular disease. Paul Cooper, M.D. Methods: In 50 cadaver dissections of the lower extremity, arteries were injected Washington, D.C.; New Haven, with methyl methacrylate in different colors and dissected. Preoperatively, each Conn.; and Millburn, N.J. reconstructive patient’s vascular anatomy was routinely analyzed using a Dopp- ler instrument and the results were evaluated. Results: There are six angiosomes of the foot and ankle originating from the three main arteries and their branches to the foot and ankle. The three branches of the posterior tibial artery each supply distinct portions of the plantar foot. The two branches of the peroneal artery supply the anterolateral portion of the ankle and rear foot. The anterior tibial artery supplies the anterior ankle, and its continuation, the dorsalis pedis artery, supplies the dorsum of the foot. Blood flow to the foot and ankle is redundant, because the three major arteries feeding the foot have multiple arterial-arterial connections. By selectively performing a Doppler examination of these connections, it is possible to quickly map the existing vascular tree and the direction of flow.

Kurucusu Aydınoğlu Mehmet Bey, Birgi, Tire, Efes/Ayasuluk, Yukarı İzmir Kalesini topraklarına kattı. Merkezi Birgi olan beylik hakkında bilgi edinilen başlıca kaynak, on beşinci yüzyılda yazılmış olan Düstürnâme-i Enverî adlı eserdir. Buna göre Mehmet Bey hâkimiyeti altındaki yerleri, beş oğlu arasında paylaştırarak her birini idareci olarak kendi bölgesine tayin etmiştir. Ayasuluğ ve Sultanhisarı'nı büyük oğlu Hızır Bey'e, İzmir'i Umur Bey'e, Bodamya'yı üçüncü oğlu İbrahim Bahadır Bey'e, Tire'yi dördüncü oğlu Süleyman Bey'e vermiştir. En küçük oğlu İsa Bey'i de yanında alıkoymuştur. İbrahim Bahadır Bey’e verilen Bodamya’nın, günümüzde İzmir Ödemiş’te Bademli olduğu genel kabul görmüştür. Ancak bu iddia, Mehmet Bey’in ikametgahı Birgi ile Süleyman’ın bölgesi Tire’ye yakınlığından dolayı sorunludur. Urla’nın sosyal ve iktisadi tarihine ilişkin yapılan çalışmada bölgenin, Aydınoğlu Beyliği hakimiyetine girişiyle uzun soluklu bir dönüşüm geçirdiği anlaşılmıştır. Bu dönüşümü anlama gayreti, Bodamya’nın yeri ile ilgili yeni bir tespitin de mümkün olabileceğini ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bu tespite; dönemin iktisadi ve siyasi olaylarıyla İbrahim Bey’in fetih ve idari faaliyetlerinin yeniden değerlendirilmesiyle ulaşılmıştır. Dolayısıyla bu makale, Urla Yarımadası’nın tarihi gelişimi yanında Aydınoğlu Beyliği’nin idari yapısına, tarihi bir figür olarak İbrahim Bey’in tanınmasına katkı sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır.

  • Perceptions of the Ancient Jews As a Nation in the Greek and Roman Worlds
    Perceptions of the Ancient Jews as a Nation in the Greek and Roman Worlds By Keaton Arksey A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba In partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Classics University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2016 by Keaton Arksey Abstract The question of what made one Jewish in the ancient world remains a fraught topic for scholars. The current communis opinio is that Jewish communities had more in common with the Greeks and Romans than previously thought. Throughout the Diaspora, Jewish communities struggled with how to live amongst their Greco-Roman majority while continuing to practise their faith and thereby remain identifiably ‘Jewish’. To describe a unified Jewish identity in the Mediterranean in the period between 200 BCE and 200 CE is incorrect, since each Jewish community approached its identity in unique ways. These varied on the basis of time, place, and how the non-Jewish population reacted to the Jews and interpreted Judaism. This thesis examines the three major centres of Jewish life in the ancient world - Rome, Alexandria in Egypt, and Judaea - demonstrate that Jewish identity was remarkably and surprisingly fluid. By examining the available Jewish, Roman, and Greek literary and archaeological sources, one can learn how Jewish identity evolved in the Greco-Roman world. The Jews interacted with non-Jews daily, and adapted their neighbours’ practices while retaining what they considered a distinctive Jewish identity. Each chapter of this thesis examines a Jewish community in a different region of the ancient Mediterranean.
